780 Statewide School Projects

The Florida Lottery proudly supports the Classrooms First and Classrooms for Kids programs, which utilizes Florida Lottery revenue to fund school district projects for new construction, renovation, remodeling and major repair and maintenance of educational facilities. In addition, this funding assists school districts in meeting the constitutional class size reduction requirements. As of June 30, 2009, more than $3.9 billion in Lottery-backed bonds have been allocated for this purpose.

Every time you play Florida Lottery games, you contribute to education in Florida.
